The Neighborhood

Are you sure you're ready to go back to work, Calvin?

It's been two weeks, Tina. My knee is healed, all right?

I didn't stay home this long

when I had gallstones taken out.

You didn't have gallstones taken out.

It was your appendix.

Well, something came out, and I was right back on my feet.

All right, Calvin.

Venturing out in the world?

He's supposed to be venturing to physical therapy,

but he won't make an appointment.

I don't need it, Tina. I was born in the '60s.

That's when things were built tough.

I'm not made of fiberglass and plastic

like these new people.

Hi.

Hey, what's...Hey, what's with the big thermometer?

It's for our fundraising campaign,

but I can't leave it at school.

Some creative young artist keeps adding things to it

that, uh, make it look like something else.

Oh. Like what?

Oh... yeah.Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

We're raising money to build an aquatic center

to attract new families to the school.

Finally, we can stick it to those snobs

at the Oak Ridge Academy.

Hey, do you know their cafeteria has a Michelin star?

Stop following that school on Instagram!

I got to run.Yeah, you know what, me too.

Okay.

Enough, Calvin.

I'm making you an appointment for PT.

Ooh, you know, I know a great physical therapist.

I refer people to him at the VA all the time.

His name is Derrick Frye.

Oh, theDerrick Frye?

Used to play for the Rams?

So, you've heard of him?

Yes, Dave. I'm a man.

And I watch football.

Oh, good. So, you'll do it?

Yeah. Yeah, I guess, you know, if I--

I mean, if I need to do it,

then I might as well go to someone

who's used to working on elite athletes like myself.

I'm out of here, guys.

Whoa. What happened to you?

After-school art club. That's what happened to me.

I'm a history teacher. Look at this top.

I was gonna take this back!

You're lucky.

Our dear principal made me supervise

the softball team.

I had to wear this huge leather glove thing.

And it was not new.

Well, it's all for the kids, right?

Are the kids gonna refund me my $59?

$59? American dollars?

I'm quoting the original price.

Look, the point is,

we are being overworked.

I know she's your friend and all,

but Principal Johnson needs to stop asking us

to do double duty.

She's got to hire some teachers' aides.

Look, look, no one cares about this school

more than Gemma, okay?

She busts her butt, too.

Let's cut her a little slack, okay?

Hello, teachers!Hey.

Oh! Looks like someone had fun in art.

Sure did.

You know me, anything for the kids.

Aw.

That's right.

Speaking of which, is anyone free tomorrow afternoon?

Thank you, Tina!

Wh-wh-what? I didn't say yes.

But it's an emergency.

I need someone to chaperone the fifth graders' field trip

to the Altadena Waste Disposal Center.

You mean the dump.

Please don't call it "the dump."

The dump people get very offended.

I'd do it, but I'm swamped.

I've got the fundraising campaign,

the annual report to finish,

back-to-back donor dinners...

Plus, it'll be fun.

Fine.

You're the best.

Eh.

Hope you had your tetanus shot.

Yeah, you know,

I was a running back back in my day.

And I almost made the pros,

but, you know, just missed the cut, man.

Really? What college did you play for?

You know... ...in college, too.

I-I missed the cut.

I missed the cut.

But, uh, I dominated in high school,

middle school, peewee, you know.

It's just good to talk to somebody else

that played the game.

You know.

All right, Calvin, I need to know,

are you injured or are you hurt?

What's the difference?

If you're injured, you can't play.

But if you're hurt, I'm gonna put your butt

back on the field and give you the ball.

Okay...Mm-hmm.

Now, I'm gonna ask you one more damn time--

Are you injured or are you hurt?

You know, I'm still a little confused...

...but I'm gonna say "hurt"?

Now we're talking.

Now let's get you off that bench...Okay.

...and back in the game.All right.

Now, this electro stim machine

is gonna get the blood flowing

to your knee.

Let's get to work.All right.

Mm.

How's that feel?

I didn't even know it was on.

That's what I'm talking about.

Let's crank it up, then.

Okay.

No pain, no gain.

That's my motto.

All right.

Now we're getting somewhere.

You good?

I'm okay. I'm all right.

Whoo. Okay, man.

Well, thanks for coming, man.

That was a good one right there.

Are you under the impression that we're done here?

No, sir.

Coach... sir... D-doctor. Doctor?

Pick one! Okay.

Right. So, Pop drove all the way to work today

but didn't get out of his truck?

I think his knee still hurts.

We had to have our staff meeting in the parking lot.

Whenever he didn't like an idea, he just honked.

Ooh. I'd better go.

I am about to be late for class.

Uh, okay.

Malcolm, yeah, I got something to show you, man.

It's about your girl--

What?Janelle!

Hey, how you doing?

You're rocking that computer bag.

Thank you.

Okay.

Bye, babe. Bye.

See you later.

Uh... what's going on, Trey?

All right, look, I'm not even gonna sugarcoat this.

I was scrolling on Tinder, looking for a wife--

Yours or someone else's?

I mean, I'm open.

Anyway, I swiped on Janelle.

Whoa, Janelle?

Why would you swipe on my Janelle?

Nah, see, I was just swiping and swiping,

and before I realized, it-it was her.

And you can't un-swipe.

Why is she on a dating app?

I don't know, but whatever you do,

don't tell her I told you, 'cause I ain't no snitch.

I got you, man. Don't say that.

Hey. I forgot my keys.

Yeah, uh, Trey saw you on Tinder!

No, I didn't. No, I didn't.

Come on, Trey.

Yes.

I guess I still have the app,

but I wouldn't say I'm onthere.

I mean, I still have Angry Birds.

Yeah, I guess I need to free up some storage space.

Yeah, that's, that's a great idea.

Why don't you start with Tinder?

I mean, I need more space for our pictures.

And that video.Shh.

Damn!

What?

Well, I mean,

you-you're finally settling down.

Oh, settling down? What you talking about?

I mean, you made her delete her dating app.

You low-key just proposed.

What? That's ridiculous, man.

I think there's something rotten in the fridge.

It's not the fridge.

Yes, it's me!
